BryceCampPhotos Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I am wanting to dive into wildlife photography but want to make sure I have the correct gear! What do y’all recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hi. My recommendations would be a full frame camera if your budget allows. The new a7r5 is amazing and quickly becoming one of my favorite wildlife cameras. Pair it with the 200-600mm and you have a wonderful combo. Enjoy!

CarolineJensen Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I agree that a nice zoom would be good. I would add on the 100-400, if you can afford it. Products Used FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSSLenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmcdonough Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think lenses are really going to depend on what kind of wildlife you're drawn to... if you're looking to shoot birds, I would say maybe the 200-600mm but if you're leaning towards megafauna then I would probably do the 100-400. Then of course you could do macro with the 90mm macro for insects and reptiles.

tonygale Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 As @MattK said the a7RV with it animal and bird eye-af would be a great choice, and the 200-600 is a great wildlife lens with tremendous reach.@CarolineJensen and @bmcdonough have some good lens suggestions as well.The last thing you might add is 1.4x or 2x tele-extender#FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS Products Used FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSSLenses Alpha 7R V (Alpha7RV)Cameras FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSSLenses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
